Morphology
attainability = attainable (transparent) = attain + able + ity
Formed by adding the nominal suffix '-ity' to the productive adjective 'attainable' (attain + -able), so the meaning is directly derived.
Etymology
The word attainability comes from the verb attain, which goes back to an old root tain meaning 'reach' or 'touch'. So attainability simply asks if something can be 'within reach' or achieved.
